catastrophic flooding before making landfall again in the next few hours. somewhere along the texas, louisiana border. cnn's paul vercammen live for us in houston be along the interstate. you're first up tonight, first up at this hour. i understand that you're with volunteer rescue organizers. what's going on? >> reporter: yeah, just as we speak right now, i'm standing on interstate 10, and we will call them the texas armada. volunteers all coming together because they've heard there are people down in this neighborhood. this is green's bayou. they understand it is flooded out. this is one of the men who organized this. you're going to go ahead once again as it seems like a week almost now, jump right into the middle of this and try to get in there and rescue folks. >> that's what i'm trying to do rescue whoever's out here. i haven't had a chance to rest the way i want to rest. you know what? whether he i was in my neighborhood north green river and mesa, you know, i came with

a big rig helping people out on the way. helped my grandmother and many others that hopped on the truck as i was getting people out, i bumped into this man right here. nobody else was out there. there was no fire department, no police department. there was no helicopter. there was nobody there. the water was rising so fast, you know what i'm saying, god only sent this man and his other buddy. there was only two boats. >> let me jump in right now. as you can get the sense for, one man's got a truck. this is bubba, he's got a boat. i understand, if i'm not mistaken, you've probably rescued how many people? >> 300 to 400. >> reporter: describe the expressions on some of their faces? >> they were crying when had seen me. i would drive through the neighborhood, people come out crying just wanting help. >> reporter: how do you feel when you see that body is saved? >> it's just relief. when this was all going on, i

didn't feel nothing. i just felt like i had to get more people out. just kept going and kept going. >> reporter: bubba, let me try to explain more of that. right now, we've organized behind me and they're basically going to launch their entire makeshift flotilla. many of these people had never meet people in this group before but they starred talking to each other, using social media and found there's a need to jump in right here. and yet another one of these volunteers, tom vickers, tell us what your strategy is right now. >> right now, we're going to go in and beak go door to door and look at see what we can do to help anybody here. we're basically paul rodriguez is going to lead us through here. anybody needs help, we're going to bring them back here to shelter. >> reporter: what does it say about you texans that you got together and you put together this makeshift crew in the blackness here on interstate 10

at this time of night? >> this is what texans do. we help each out. we got the call. you got people from all over the state that came down from dallas, san antonio, from all over houston, everywhere in between coming down here with their boats to help out. that's what we do. >> well, we don't know how this is going to turn out. we hope there's nobody trapped down there. we're glad to know somebody like you, a volunteer and all your friends we can see in this picture frame are more than willing to stay up around the clock and make sure everybody's safe. back to you now, don. >> that was great. tell those guys i said thank you. that was amazing. paul vercammen, we appreciate them. those are real american heroes right there. paul, we'll get back to you. martin savidge is in sugar land, texas. i see a whole lot of water behind you. people are having to evacuate with the clothes on their backs and now folks have to brace for more flooding. is the flooding over in your

area? are they expecting another round? what are you seeing? >> reporter: not by a long slot. there could be another round of heavy flooding because they anticipate not till maybe thursday in this area will the rivers begin to crest. and they're going to be keeping an eye on the rivers and reservoirs, as well. they've had problems with overflow. this community here has about, it's hard to say how many homes in particular. hundreds, let's leave it at that. river stone is the name of it. it is one of those planned communities but the water goes all the way back. i don't know how far you can see. it goes about a mile and a half to the brazos river. it is all flooded. most of the families got out in a similar way what paul was showing you there. the pros, state and local fire departments and water trained rescue people, but then you had the civilians. those who just showed up with a boat or high profile truck or some of people had a high lift truck. they drove in, floateded in. but they went in and they rescued hundreds of families

that had become trapped. there was a mandatory evacuation order put in place here. but it went in too late. by the time it was in effect, most of the escape routes had been cut off. a lot of people especially families with young children trapped overnight. the boats were ready. the teams ran pretty much all day. just about everybody is out who wanted to get out. and the rain has stopped. and though there is a long way to go here, the fact that it's not raining is a real bonus to this community. >> when you said it stopped, i was saying for now. for now. we shall see. martin savidge, thank you. i want to get to katy, texas is, where we find cnn's alex mquart. what are you seeing tonight. >> just what marty was talking about, this break in that

incredible rain has all but stopped. there is a bit of a light misting right now. this break is welcome by everyone here. we have been. this west houston neighborhood the entire day and seen boat after boat of people being rescued coming right down here and getting off on this dry ground and heading to the security of shelters or friends and family. but as you're saying, you're right. there are a lot of people taking the chance to stay back there. there are a number of subdivisions back there. we were back there on several boats this afternoon. we were speaking with people who were telling us they want to stay in their homes till things are critical you can understand that feeling. they don't want to go anywhere till they see the floodwaters creeping in. it's unclear what's going to happen with the level of this floodwater right here. we've all been talking about these two reservoirs that are in houston that the army corps of engineers have started releasing waters from. and the closest one to here is

called addicks. a lot of people back there are not taking the chance now to get out when it is relatively safe. if these flood awards rise, it could obviously make things a lot more dangerous. we were out there this afternoon with two cousins who had come up from rockport, texas, which is one of the hardest hit areas after hurricane harvey. i was asking these cousins, ma made do you this now especially after your hope was sit so severely. one of the cousins was telling me we, our families are okay. our homes are okay. the worst is passed down there. we wanted to help out especially because they had these boats, these swamp or air boats that are better for navigating the waters. on top of these armadas as paul called them of civilian and volunteer rescuers, we've also seen an immense turnout of local authorities, police, fire,

county, the national guard. this is really an all hands on deck response to this storm. don? >> alex, thank you very much. it's better. those boats are flat. shallow and flat bottomed boat. it's better if you have a flat bottomed boat out there. you're right. i want to bring in now anike allen. she was trapped in her houston hope tonight. and she joins us via phone. so you're in a one-story home. have you no power. are you okay? what's going on? >> right now, i'm currently outside because this is the best place to get service on my cell phone. but contrary to i think the subdivision across the street, we're doing okay. it's difficult at night, of course, because we can't see anything. the water is starting to recede here, but we're very concerned if it will come back or if we'll be able to drive out of the

subdivision tomorrow. i think food is becoming a little scarce in our community. so we're looking for ways out oh that we can get food and power. >> uh-huh. so no power. >> no power. >> and there's still water. you said it's starting to recede but there's going to be more rain. your house hasn't been flooded but you say you still can't get out of the neighborhood because the neighborhood is flooded? >> right. we're in sheldon, which is small community in northeast houston. and although the water's receding here, i'm literally looking at the neighborhood across the street. i can see them air flighting someone out of their home. so it's water off of what we call cq boulevard. it's almost like a lake has formed within the community.

>> hmm. you were a college student in new orleans when katrina hit and you had to evacuate then. >> i was. >> do you -- can you compare the two? are they different storms? is this one worse? >> i don't know if i can say which one is worse, but my perspective is different now. i was able to escape new orleans although it was the last minute. and now, i'm trapped inside without power, i don't know what's going on on the outside. so i don't -- i'm uncertain. that's a little bit scary. i don't know what's going to happen till daybreak versus katrina, i was able to get out of the city. it took us maybe eight to ten hours to go from new orleans to lafayette and we were able to go home. so we were able to be of help in a different light. we feel a little bit helpless on inside here in houston right now. >> uh-huh. have you kids, right? >> i don't have kids. but i'm with my friend, and he

has three young nieces. they're with us. >> how are they doing? are they scared? >> the first night the lights went out. they were a little bit panicked. they're getting a little weary being in the house. not, you know, knowing what's going on. they see the helicopters. they were actually able to get the neighbor behind us was life lighted today for medical reasons. we're wondering are we next? what's going to happen. there's a lot of uncertainty. >> anike, good luck to you. keep us updated on what's going on with you. >> thank you, don. >> thank you very much. when we come back, more stories from the flood zone as the storm is about to make a second landfall in just a matter of hours. ♪ we're drowning in information.

sound, it's true. harvey has dumped more than four feet of rain in and around houston. it's not done yet. karen mcginnis is down in the cnn weather center. this is really just unbelievable, karen. >> it is. >> go on.

when does that second landfall, is that happening soon? >> it actually is going to take place during the early morning hours, maybe between 5:00 to 7:00 a.m. local time. but that will be kind of the snowballing of what will happen along this extreme southwestern coast of louisiana. already, don, in some areas around beaumont, port arthur, we have seen close to 18 inches. there could be an additional 8 to 12 inches once it sweeps through this region that is very low lying, very vulnerable. and has become developed over the years. you can see right around lake charles, that's where we've seen kind of that bull's eye of precipitation. even though the center of harvey is still offshore as it crosses land, it is going to move and pick up speed. houston, i think the good news is that your rainfall for the most part has ended. yes, you may see a couple of showers here and there. now it has shifted more so into the sabine pass area.

and moving up towards shreveport eventually headed up towards the tennessee river valley in the next couple days. it's not going to be at tropical storm intensity but will have the rain shield associated with it. as we head towards the weekend memphis and nashville, eventually louisville, don, it looks like they see the remnants of what has been this horrible harvey that has just inundated houston, in some cases almost 50 inches of rainfall. >> wow. and i know you said it. you said the second landfall in the early morning hours, correct? where do you think it's going to hit? how is it going to do it. >> it may it be around that sabine pass area right along the border between louisiana and texas. beaumont, port arthur have been hit very hard. there's going to be between a two and five-foot storm surge they can expect there. this is a very low lying area. there are lots of oil fields and

refineries in this area. and a lot of people living 0 this beautiful coastline that is very vulnerable. so anything in the way of storm surge and additional eight to 12 inches of rain, that's devastating for them. but we have -- in a time where we have seen records set all around houston and all around that metro area. this is just another iteration for harvey as it -- we couldn't say good-bye to it fast enough. fortunately, it's going to pick up speed and start to move more quickly. >> i got to ask you because people are always concerned about new orleans. did new orleans dodge a bullet? apply mom they're starting to get more rain now. did they dodge a bullet? >> they're not completely out of it. i think the center of this core of precipitation is it much more focused. elsewhere, what you're looking at across louisiana and into mississippi are just isolated

areas. so yes, the rain may be brief and heavy. but it's not going to be lingering like it has been over the last 24 hours in that coastal region of galveston, lake charles, and generally speaking that particular area. shreveport i think yes. the rainfall is going to be heavy there, as well. so harvey still has the capability of producing quite a bit of damage. houston has seen the worst. but now it schiffs over right along that texas, louisiana border, that arklatex region, as well. for new orleans, it looks like occasional showers expected for them. there is going to be a little bit of a heavy surf. we're always concerned about the turbines and the pumps working properly there. but in this particular situation, i think it's more isolated than what we've seen that produceder perspective. >> yeah. fingers crossed. thank you, karen. i appreciate that. >> thanks. tonight officials in texas saying between 9,000 and 10,000 people have been rescued in

houston and its surrounding region. back with me on the phone a second night, chad petric came into the flood zone to help with rescues how many people do you think you rescued today? >> not as.today, don. you know, the amount of people out on the water today are in the flooded areas was pretty overwhelming. which was a great thing for the cause. but it made for i guess longer trips in to areas you know, not finding people as fast which is a great thing. i would say we probably rescued around 40 to 50 people. we worked the barker, cyprus area around apartment complexes. it was pretty hectic at the end of the barker cyprus road. once we kind of felt there was plenty of help there, we moved around. we drove all the way down into missouri city and went into the plantation and found a few

people left there. and helped out there. there were some border patrol'gs there and they pretty much had it covered. after that, we came back up into fort ben county and worked the area around westheimer parkway and frey road and there was only a few victims left in there that needed to be rescued. and i talked to a couple of firemen. they said the fort ben county is pretty well taken care of. right now it sounds like we all need to head east. that's where our plan is tomorrow. we're going to give it one more day and you know, more if needed and see what happens. >> chad, looking at this video, i think you shot it on monday. you are moving along at a pretty good clip. and you're going through -- this is a street of corpus christi, right? >> that's actually in katy. >> that was katy? >> yes. i'm not too sure which one you

have. i'm not seeing it right now. but -- >> it's monday's video. >> but yes, you know, and another thing too right now is also the rivers. even all the way back to the guadeloupe river in victoria. you have the colorado river. san bernard's and brazos rivers that are lynx out of banks. and i've been down towards the coast and further east they're going to be in trouble. we'll stick it out. we've got a couple more friends coming up in corpus christi area. and we're going to continue to offer aid if needed. >> so can i ask you, you talked about it a little bit. you touched on it. but can you tell me more? because you tried to go to a different location today and turned away because they had enough boats. . so where are you going to go tomorrow? >> we're going to head east of

here. i'm housed in the pecan grob area in rich monday tonight. then we're going to work our way to the east and when i say east, probably on i-10. the thing is a lot of these roads, you can't drive through them even on 59, there's roads blocked still with high water. we're going to see if there's any need. hopefully, we can you know, get through to the areas of where there's people that need us. people that need to be rescued. >> chad peterek, thank you, sir. >> you bet. one of the vips of the devastating flooding is a houston police officer. sergeant steve perez drowned on his way to work early sunday morning in the aftermath of this devastating storm. he drove into an underpass and got caught in heavy floodwaters. houston's police chief offering an emotional tribute to the officer today. >> we call for our dive team. we even used one of our what are

we calling these people from louisiana, god bless them. our cajun navy. you know? our american cajun navy. they helped us look for him. so we couldn't find him. and once our dive team got there, it was too treacherous to go under and look for him. so we made a decision to leave officers there waiting until the morning because as much as we wanted to recover hip last night, we could not put more officers at risk for what we knew in our hearts was going to be a recovery mission. this morning at 8:00 a.m., the dive team was out there again, which was their number one priority. and within 20 minutes, they found him. but i'm heartened by two things. number one, i got to learn that it's a family of faith that has faith in god. when you have faith, there's hope and eternal life and it

gives us collective strength in the houston police department knowing that this family knows as much as they're hurting like our mayor, we say he's always preaching even when it's not sunday, preaches every day, the wife told me she had asked him not to go in. and steve is one of the sweetest people i've met in this department. i've only been here nine months. we've got 6500 employees and i knew who steve perez was because he was a sweet, gentle, public servant. and she tells me, i told him not to go to work. his father-in-law who was a korean war veteran from the army, combat veteran, we told him not to go. because the conditions were so bad. his response was, we've got work to do. and here's a man that didn't spend you know, 20 minutes and then come back and say i tried. he spent close to 2 1/2 hours because he has that in his dna.

and so i told his wife, let me ask you something, ma'am. if the lord was going to take him today, how do you think he would want to go, laying in bed, watching a disaster or doing what he's done for 34 years? and the smile that overcame that woman's face, his beautiful wife said it all. if it was his turn to go, she said, this is the way he would have wanted to go. >> officer perez's colleagues remembering him today. he was a 34-year veteran of the houston police force. for ways you can help those affected by harvey, go to cnn.com/impact. cnn.com/impact. breaking news tonight, the storm expected to make landfall a second time along the texas/louisiana border. in a matter of hours, the latest from the flood zone. it's time for the biggest sale of the year

evening here on cnn or this morning in the eastern time zone. do you think you're ready? >> well, first of all, thank you for having me on. it's important you know what you're doing is part of what we're all trying to do. you know, you getting the message out to the rest of the world what happens down at ground zero level and how these people can best be helped and what goes on is just as important as what's going on out there. he appreciate the time of you having me on tonight. >> thank you, colonel. do you think you're ready? >> well, that's the million dollar question. and if we're going to ask it simply, i guess we've certainly done everything we can to prepare. so i think we're about as ready as we can be. i was in new orleans 12 years ago. i was in the superdome so knock on wood, just when you a you're ready, nature has a way of throwing a twist at you. i certainly hope that's not the

case and certainly hope when the storm makes landfall tomorrow it, moves quickly through our state. and those places that do perhaps get flooded or get rain, i hope those are areas where we've already leaned forward and repositioned and put people in the right places. that's our methodology and we've paid attention to the storm for several days now. by pushing people and guardsmen and equipment and those resources that can best help by pushing them into those areas where they can best be used has been the kind of the key for success for an while. i hope that holds true tomorrow. >> you said you're putting equipment in plays best be used. you said the minute you think you're prepared, mother nature does something. you never know. >> that's the whole trick of it. early on, whenever there's a storm in the gulf, you immediately go to work. we keep very close relationships with the parishes. year round whether there's a storm or not. we have liaisons and regular

meetings with those parishes. that dialogue stays pretty open all the time. as soon as it looks like there's going to be an incident, those parishes are able to raise their hand and say hey, we think we might need guard help. chances are we're already leaning forward and we'll move guardsmen and vehicles in and boats and preposition those where we think we can get best at the impacted areas quickly. we did that pretty early on in southwest louisiana and that allowed us to make a difference in lake charles and some of those lower southwest parishes and several hundred people last night, we were able to get them to dry land. that went very well. throughout the day today, we've moved assets where we think the storm path is going to be tomorrow. >> can i ask you this in the short time we have left? give us some advice. >> absolutely. >> advice to folks who are in the storm's path, colonel. >> well, certainly look to your left, look to your right and be aware of what's going on around

you and be aware of your neighbors. don't take unnecessary risks and be smart. know there's help out there and know how to reach that help and get to that help. that's some great advice. it's tricky when people try to get out there and take unnecessary risks. we don't want people to put them elves in harp's way unnecessarily. there are plenty of people out there prepared to help as needed. that's the key to success. >> good advice. you don't know what is in that floodwater. flood we'res are very, very dangerous. if you can avoid it at all, obviously, don't drive through it. don't try to walk through it if possible. >> that's the best advice. it's so easy to underestimate the power of that water. and to chance it with your vehicle. and when that happens, now you've doubled the potential for harm. >> colonel ed bush, louisiana national guard, thank you, sir. >> no, thank you. god bless everyone in texas. again, as a katrina veteran, i know these are hard times.

and it's going to be a long road for them. hopefully the good lord willing, louisiana will stay safe, as well. >> a new threat from north korea when we come back. with my moderate to severe crohn's disease i kept looking for ways to manage my symptoms. i thought i was doing okay. then it hit me... managing was all i was doing. when i told my doctor, i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease even after trying other medications. in clinical studies, the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores.

i want you to listen to this. [ sirens ] >> that's the sound of sirens across northern japan after north korea fired a missile over japan at dawn. president trump warning pyongyang all options are on the

table. cnn international correspondent will ripley is the only western journalist in north korea and he joins me now. will, hello to you. thanks for joining us from pyongyang. it's wednesday afternoon there. what's the latest? >> reporter: hey, don. the latest is it took 24 hours but north korea has finally announce this had launch through state media. the front page story is north korea's leader kim jong-un all smiles after launching the hwasong-12 missile, an immediate range ballistic missile i saw in april when i was reporting for your program from the parade. military parade. remember, all of those missiles passing by behind me, the hwasong-12 was unveiled at that point and believed to have a range of at least 2300 miles and the exact same kind of missile north korea threatened to use to launch towards guam. and one thing that the north korean state media is now saying which is particularly alarming is they plan to launch more missiles like this towards the pacific and they're saying that this launch over japan was

essentially a prelude for future military options to contain guam. so even though president trump and secretary tillerson had talked about how north korea had backed away from the guam threat and they didn't launch this missile over guam but north korea is now saying they're still not ruling out that flight frightening possibility. >> what's the reaction to the launch been like in japan? >> reporter: you know, i have to say, don, i've lived in tokyo four years. it hit home for me when i got a letter at my apartment building with a list of things to do in the event of a north korea missile attack. they put supplies, emergency supplies in the elevators of my building not for earthquake buzz in case there's a miff attack and a list of instructions posted in public areas. this is a frightening snog particularly for people who live in japan because they've seen missile after missile launched very close to their shores. just this year, so many different cases where missiles have come maybe within a couple of hundred nautical miles of mainland japan and now a missile

flew over an area with millions of people who woke up to the sound of air raid sirens and getting messages to take cover in sturdy buildings. this is the reality of life in this region. it is a terrifying reality for people living out here. so every time that north korea puts one of these missiles in the air, obviously, they're making a political statement to the united states but they are also scaring a lot of people who think especially in japan think back to hiroshima and nagasaki. japan endured the horror of having nuclear weapons dropped on it and people have to grow up with that fear once again. >> your word terrifying to say the least. thank you. i want to bring in now contributorer jeanne lead, journalist and global fellow at the wilson center. thank you so much. president trump has warned all options are on the table after north korea's latest missile launch. that's an idea that nikki haley touched on, as well. take a listen.

>> well, first of all, what happened yesterday is absolutely unacceptable and irresponsible. the united states along with japan and south korea have called for an emergency security council meeting this afternoon. we are going to talk about what else is left to do to north korea. no country should have missiles flying over them like those 130 million people in japan. it's unacceptable. they have violated every single u.n. security council resolution we've had. so i think something serious has to happen. >> so jeanne, why is this launch so significant and what types of responses are we likely to see from western leaders? >> well, this particular missile launch is provocative because it did fly over japanese territory. so directly provoking and north korea wants to punish japan for siding with the united states. and also making it clear that they have the capability now to

send a missile to target u.s. strategic assets and troops that are based in japan as well as in guam. and to send that message very clearly. but the real threat here is that it terrified all those people in japan who woke up to the sirens and made it very clear that there's a possibility now that japan is going to have to act and may have to shoot down these missiles if they continue testing them over japanese territory. and certainly this missile went a lot farther than previous missiles. so showing they're improving this technology and that they're testing, re-entry capability so they can get a nuclear warhead on this missile. >> the second part of the question, response from western leaders likely. what do you think we're going to hear? >> you know, options are so lipped. remember that the region is really bound by this cease-fire that was signed in 1953 at the end of the close of the korean war. and certainly what militaries

that are poised here what they don't want to do is to make a move that would result in some sort of conflict. remember we've got tens of thousands of troops ready to strike and really bracing for another provocation. we don't want for this to erupt in a military conflict certainly what we're hearing from china calling for restraint and calm. they don't want a disaster on their doorstep. people of south korea have been living with this for decades. any kind of conflict would mean the destruction of the korean peninsula. north korea does not want the destruction of their country, as well. so they know that they're going to push as far as they can but what they don't want is to result in another korean war on their side either. >> jean, this is the first time that north korea has launched a missile over japan. does this launch tell us anything new about north korea's missile cape bes? and what does this mean for

guam? >> you know, north korea's leader kim jong-un stated very clearly on new year's day that he was, had, the goal of building and weaponizing an intercontinental missile capable of striking the main land u.s. we shouldn't be completely surprised. he's at thing his people he needs to build this weapon to protect north korea from a military threat from the u.s. he's going to use every hint of aggression from the united states whether it's the military war games that are happening now here in south korea or rhetoric from president trump to justify and to speed up the development and construction of these nuclear weapons. so what we're seeing now is that no matter whether it's sanctions or threats, he's not going to be deterred. he's actually going to use sanctions and threws as more justification to continue building nuclear weapons.

clearly showing he will remain defiant and telling his people despite the cost they need this to keep the country safe and intact. >> jean lee, thank you so much. when we come back, another story of neighbor helping neighbor in the flood zone. this one might surprise you. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,... ...isn't it time to let the real you shine through? maybe it's time for otezla (apremilast). otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months,... ...with reduced redness,... ...thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and the otezla prescribing information has... ...no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. tell your doctor if these occur. otezla is associated with an increased... ...risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have... ...a history of depression... ...or suicidal thoughts,... ...or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla... ...reported weight loss.

graham. this is great you're doing this. >> thank you. >> i understand you are there giving free haircuts. why did you decide to help out this way? >> well, it's what we're familiar with and it was actually his idea was a great idea to bring a sense of normalcy to people here and you can see the difference once they sat in the chair like they forgot about their problems for just a second so it's just the way we know how to give back. >> seth your idea how did you come up with it, you know, this is how i could help out? >> um, not necessarily. just being in the house watching social media and just seeing a lot of people post thing and i just wanted to come up with something that i could do to give back. a lot of celebrities and people

were doing donations. i started a go fund me to help also. i figured i am already a talent myself so why not give my talent by donating free haircuts because end of the day haircuts change lives, uplifts people and boosts self esteem. any down feeling this would be the best way to uplift them. >> what are people telling you, how are they doing? >> a lot of them enjoyed it a lot of comedy came once i started cutting hair and a lot of stories started rolling and the talk turned from about, you know, being in shelters, to being just, kicking it and trying to get a haircut. a lot of time barber shop talk is the best talk. >> the best. >> it's good to turn the corner of the convention center to a barber shop and i appreciate the opportunity and the love out here. >> katie is your house and

business oerk? >> yeah, luckily we had very minimal damageaky? >> yeah, luckily we had very minimal damage to the area. the street we're actually on no flooding at all. i'm very thankful about that. >> what else do you think people need in shelters. it took their mind to off their trouble to get a haircut, it's a normal thing, you start having barber shop talk what else do you think people need in shelters, katie? >> that sense of every day. you are taken out of your home, put into a place unknown to you, and you want to feel something familiar to you, even if it is just getting a haircut, it's something that you normally do, and it feels good. so i think just getting back to things that you usually do is what's needed here. >> what kind of stories are you hearing? i asked cedric i'll ask you

>> like he said, barber shop talk, it's different. >> people talking a lot of mess, right. >> yeah, yeah. but you know, just people coming together and seeing people from different parts of towns talking like they've known each other for years. so it feels good to see people come together at a time of need. so. >> cedric, i think it's interesti interesting. >> it shows true character in significan situations when you see the best come out. it really showed a lot on our parts and others just to come out and show appreciation and show us giving back and see the return that we got was really, really mind-blowing. >> i think what's interesting
